Drinking Water: Step 1 in Weight Loss

Want to lose weight easily? The simplest solution and first step to weight loss should be to properly hydrate your body. How much water do you drink daily?

Our body is made up of about 60% - 75% water. As the water is used by the body, it is flushed out through the kidneys or the skin or other avenues. So doesnt it make sense that we need to consume that much per day to keep the body fueled?

In fact we will die within 3-4 days without it. But we typically just think of it just as a thirst quencher. It is really much, much more.

Water helps remove the toxins from our body whether from our food, the air we breathe, the medicines we take. Lack of water means toxin buildup, which means disease set in.

It also means the body needs to go to Plan B for toxin management. It will wrap the toxin in fat and store it in your body in an effort to protect you. Fat doesnt always come from eating high calories!

You need water to help make enzymes used to digest your food. Its best to drink 8 ounces of water about 30 minutes before a meal to begin the enzyme production. With a dehydrated body, you dont produce the necessary enzymes, digestion is impaired and stomach problems and constipation develop. This increases the impacted waste in your intestines which adds to your weight.

Messages are sent by the brain throughout the body via an electrical current. Water is the carrier of that current. Without water, the messages the brain sends dont get received. We are then led to believe the problem is in the part of the body not functioning, when in reality, that part of the body just didnt get the memo that it should be doing something.

Nutrients can only be delivered to the cells via water. Without water, malnutrition results and disease is soon to follow. Your body may send a signal that you are lacking nutrients and you eat more to satisfy this need.

Inside the cell, water helps with the metabolism process which creates energy. A lack of water can actually reduce your energy. Lack of energy means lack of activity and exercise.

Water is used for all the cell, tissue and organ regeneration in our body. When there isnt enough water, new construction within the body is put on hold. If you experience any part of your body thinning and weakening, like blood vessels, intestinal walls, stomach lining, skin on your hands and face as you age... this could be as simple as a dehydration problem.

According to Dr. F. Batmanghelidj, author of Your Bodys Many Cries for Water, chronic dehydration can lead to fatigue, pain, sleep disorders, allergies, asthma, overeating, excess body weight, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, angina pain, stress
